Ditto. I would love to use jellyfin in principle, but in reality I find myself often butting heads with it when I just want to watch a damned film - and Plex, despite its considerable bloat, just works.

The creeping enshittification of Plex is really putting me off.

I know you can unfuck it, however I don't want to reward that toxic behaviour with usage

Yep. Every time I've tried Jellyfin, I thought it was great... Until a video wouldn't play, or the sound wasn't synchronised, or something else. Whereas Plex just works, and always did.

Hoping Jellyfin keeps going, maybe I'll check it out again at some point.

In my own experience (and the takeaway is “software is hard” not “I am right”), every movie I watched via plex had audio desync issues, which has never been an issue with Jellyfin.

I feel the same with Plex! I'm scared to try Jellyfin.
